Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino X Astronomy Event
Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino (富野由悠季) and Gundam UC author Harutoshi Fukui(福井晴敏) will speak at Intro to Gundam Astronomy Event.
Jun Fukue (福江純) — an astronomy professor, author, and science-fiction anime enthusiast — will also attend the event.
The speakers will discuss space exploration and mankind’s knowledge of the universe, using the story world of the Gundam science-fiction anime to illustrate points.
For example, they will highlight the concepts, structure, and feasibility of cylindrical space colonies, which are known collectively as Sides 1 through 7 in Gundam.
The combined seminar and skygazing gathering will be held at the Tokyo City View Sky Deck in the Roppongi Hills 270 meters above sea level on March 9.
